Hey all, I wimped out on the Euro Empeg Meet for the past two years, but this year I want to go. Problem is, I'm not used to traveling alone. Just to put it out there, let me know if you're looking for someone to pair up with (rental car, hotel room, sight see?, and just walk around in general).

Seems many of you have done the Amersfoort meet before, so maybe I can ask a few questions:
- What's a good place for info on Amsterdam and Amersfoort. Accomodations, transportation, dining, etc?
- How's public transport in Amsterdam? Can it get me to Amersfoort? Can it get me around Amersfoort? Can it get me to "stuff to do" in the surounding area?
- Some of you (Americans) mentioned using your cell phones there. Can I do this using a StarTac (no) or a Ericsson T28World (GSM, so maybe)?
- I'm sure there will be more once I think about it more.

And did I see Rob mention something about group hotel rates? I guess I should keep my eye on that thread (or watch for a new one with meet updates). I want to book my hotels, but not if there's some special plan coming soon.

Damn, I haven't traveled in a long time, and haven't been to Europe in even longer. I have to get my head right and figure this out before I wimp out again.
